02-SEPTEMBER-2024 - WHERE AM I HEADED TO

THE MAIN THEME IS: WHERE AM I HEADED TO?

TITLE: WHERE AM I HEADED TO?

 The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Habakkuk 2:2 (NIV)

Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it”.

Devotional:

Understanding where we are headed is essential for a purposeful and directed life. In Habakkuk 2:2, God instructs the prophet to write down the vision clearly so that it can be easily understood and acted upon. 

Having a vision means knowing where we are headed and what we aim to achieve. It provides us with a sense of purpose and a roadmap to follow. A clear vision allows us to stay focused, motivated, and resilient. It helps us to prioritize our efforts and make decisions that align with our ultimate goals. When we write down our vision and make it plain, we are not only committing it to memory but also making it tangible and actionable. This practice enables us to stay on course and encourages others who see our vision to support and join us in our journey.

Take time to write down your vision clearly, making it plain so that you and other like minded people can run with it.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  1. What is the vision or purpose God has placed in my heart for my life and future?
  2. Is my vision written down? How can I make it clear and actionable?
  3. In what ways can I stay focused on my vision despite challenges?
  4. Who do I need to engage to support me in achieving my vision?

LET US PRAY:

Father, thank You for the vision and purpose You have placed in my heart. Help me to write it down clearly and make it plain so that I may run with it. Guide my steps and keep me focused on the path You have set before me. Amen.

 Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them

  • I know where I am headed. That is my vision.
  • I will run with my written vision.
  • God guides my steps and keeps me focused on my path.
  • My vision is aligned with God's purpose, and I am confident in His direction.

Do have a vision-minded day. Take good care of yourself, stay blessed. See you tomorrow.

01-SEPTEMBER-2024 - STAYING MOTIVATED

THE MAIN THEME IS: WHERE AM I HEADED TO?

TITLE: STAYING MOTIVATED

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: 2 Chronicles 15:7 (NIV)

“But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”

Devotional:

In our journey of faith and life, staying motivated can sometimes be challenging. We may encounter obstacles, feel discouraged, or even question our purpose. But the bible reminds us to stay strong and not give up, assuring us that our efforts will be rewarded.

When Nehemiah set out to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, he faced significant opposition and numerous challenges. Despite these difficulties, Nehemiah remained motivated and focused on the task God had given him. His strength and perseverance were fueled by his faith and his commitment to God's purpose. Nehemiah's story teaches us the importance of staying motivated and trusting that God will reward our faithful efforts.

Motivation often comes from a deep sense of purpose and the belief that what we are doing is meaningful. When we align our actions with God's will and trust in His promises, we can find the strength to keep going, even when the going gets tough. Remember that God sees your efforts and values your dedication.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  1. What are the main sources of motivation in my life?
  2. Can my WHY and purpose keep me going irrespective of challenges?
  3. How can I strengthen my motivation when I feel discouraged or tired?
  4. In what ways can I remind myself of God's promises to stay motivated?

LET US PRAY:

Dear God, Thank You for the assurance that my work will be rewarded. Help me to stay strong and not give up, even when I face challenges and discouragement. Fill me with Your Spirit, so I can remain focused and motivated to do Your will. Amen.

 Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them

  • I know where I am headed.
  • I am strong and motivated, knowing that my work will be rewarded by God.
  • I draw strength from God's promises and stay focused on my purpose.
  • Even in challenging times, I remain motivated and committed to God's will.

Stay motivated. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow

 31-AUGUST-2024 - HOW TO FIND PURPOSE

MAIN THEME IS: WHY AM I HERE?

TITLE: HOW TO FIND PURPOSE

The quote for today’s devotional is:

"When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse or misuse is inevitable” -  Myles Munroe

Devotional

My purpose? What is it? 

Finding our purpose can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially as teenagers navigate school, friendships, and future aspirations. The purpose is not just about what we do but about understanding who we are in God's eyes and how we can use our unique talents and passions to make a difference. The far-reaching impact of purpose will be felt not just by the person with the purpose, but by the world around him and generations to come. You can then imagine if the purpose is not fulfilled; many lives will be denied the benefits of the purpose.

Consider the story of Esther in the Bible. She was an ordinary Jewish girl who became queen and faced a daunting challenge: to save her people from destruction. As queen, she faced a critical decision: remain silent and safe or risk her life to save her people. Despite her fears and uncertainties, Esther embraced her purpose with courage, realising she was placed in her position "for such a time as this" (Esther 4:14).

Her story reminds us that our purpose is often revealed through the opportunities and challenges we face and that God has a plan for each of us, even when we can't see the whole picture. By trusting in God's plan and seeking His guidance, we can find the strength to embrace our unique path and make a meaningful impact on the world around us.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  1. Was there a time when I felt I made a difference in someone's life? What did I do, and how did it impact me and the other person?
  2. Are there any challenges or obstacles I currently face that might be an opportunity for growth or discovering my purpose?
  3. How can I seek God’s guidance and listen for His direction in my daily life to uncover my purpose?

Let us pray:

Lord, please show me the way to go. Please open my eyes of understanding and my heart to discern why you have called me.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

  • I am here because I am uniquely created by God for a purpose.
  • I know God has a plan for my life. 
  • I will daily walk with God for guidance.

Do have a purpose driven day. Do tune in tomorrow, I will surely be here for you. Until then, take good care of yourself.

30-AUGUST-2024 - THE DIFFERENCE I WILL MAKE

MAIN THEME IS: WHY AM I HERE?

TITLE: THE DIFFERENCE I WILL MAKE

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Matthew 5:16 (NIV)

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." - 

Devotional:

Each of us has the potential to make a difference in the world, no matter how small or big. Our purpose is often tied to the impact we can have on others. 

Adesewa, a 16-year-old volunteer, visited a local orphanage quite often with her mum. 

This built compassion and empathy in her. She met a resident named Ijeoma, who was lonely and hardly spoke any words. Adesewa was drawn to Ijeoma, so on one of her visits, she showed Ijeoma a photo of her own artwork, and to her surprise, Ijeoma began to talk about her love for art.

From that moment on, Adesewa visited Ijeoma every week, and they created art together as she had pleaded with her mom to get her resources for more art and craft. Soon, other residents joined in, and the orphanage transformed into a more vibrant community.

Adesewa's small act of kindness sparked a chain reaction.

- The staff of the orphanage were inspired to create more activities for the residents.

- Adesewa's friends joined her in volunteering, and together they made a bigger impact.

Adesewa realized that her small difference had created a ripple effect, touching many lives. She learned that even the smallest acts of kindness and passion can have a profound impact, inspiring others to make a difference too!

We can find ways to make meaningful contributions to our communities and the world.

Observing our immediate environment and not ignoring an unhappy face, not walking past a piece of paper on the class floor without picking it, lending a helping hand to those who need it allows us to shine our light brightly, making a difference that honors God and improves our lives, society and the world at large,

Here are a few reflective questions:

  1. Can I reflect on a time when I felt I made a difference, no matter how small. How did it make me feel, and what did I learn from the experience?
  2. Am I ready to consider the challenges I might face to make a difference? How can I prepare myself to overcome these obstacles?
  3. How can I seek God's guidance in understanding the difference He wants me to make in the world?

 Let us pray:

Dear Lord, be in my head and in my understanding, in my eye and in my seeing, in my mouth and in my speaking, in my heart and in my thinking so that I will make the difference the world awaits.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them

  • I am here because I have a helping hand
  • I will bring positive change to my environment.
  • I believe in myself. I will do great things through the small things I do.

The world awaits your heart, show kindness. Start with yourself, I’ll see you tomorrow.

29-AUGUST-2024 - HERE TO REIGN

MAIN THEME IS: WHY AM I HERE?

TITLE: HERE TO REIGN

 The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Romans 5:17 (NIV)

”For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!”

Devotional:

I believe we all agree that if a child is born to an earthly King or ruler, he/she naturally is a prince or princess and automatically is expected to assume rulership when the time comes.

As children of God, we need to always remind ourselves that we are God’s handiwork /workmanship predestined for good works as stated in Ephesians 2:10. Today’s bible text also reminds us that we have received the abundant grace of God and the free gift of righteousness,  and so we ought to reign in life through Jesus Christ (as we carry out the assignments he has programmed for us to do).

I like that it says we ought to reign in life through Jesus Christ because sometimes when we review our experiences in life, some of them do not appear like we are reigning in life, or certain aspects of life don't have the results that suggest we are reigning right?

Well, it is God’s plan for us to reign in life. But as earthly princes or princesses need to learn and grow physically and mentally in their domain, we too are expected to grow in God and grow in the areas where we are not at our best.

Go at life with a rulership mindset, we are princes and princesses of the most High King. Be willing to unlearn and relearn to move forward in all aspects of life, and be full of gratitude while at it - ‘ You have the victory’!! Hallelujah!!!

Here are a few reflective questions:

  • What areas of my life am I reigning?
  • What areas of my life am I not reigning?
  • How can I access the help I need in the areas identified above?

Let us pray:

Dear God, thank you for your great plan for my life. I ask that you help me cooperate with you as I grow and enter into all the areas of rulership you have destined for me in Jesus' name. Amen.

 Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

  • I am here because I rule and reign in life through Jesus Christ.
  • I have the wisdom and resources to conquer my world.
  • I have the victory! Hallelujah!!

Go rule your world, giving glory to God. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
